EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT WORKING COMMITTEE
Education is absolutely necessary to the development and progress of individuals, societies, and cultures at all levels. It equips individuals with knowledge, skills, and the capacity for critical thinking, so enabling them to lead lives that are both meaningful and productive.
Jewish schools hold a special significance for Jewish communities worldwide. They play a crucial role in preserving and transmitting Jewish traditions, customs, and values from one generation to another. Jewish schools play a crucial role in preserving the Jewish people’s continuity by offering a solid grounding in Jewish knowledge and values. Receiving a Jewish education increases the likelihood that students will pass on their heritage and traditions to future generations. In addition to preserving and promoting Jewish culture, values, and traditions, these efforts also contribute to the strength and unity of Jewish communities, ultimately ensuring a promising future for the Jewish people.
Our Jewish schools not only provide a high standard of secular education, but also welcome non-Jewish students. This inclusive environment ensures that all students receive a well-rounded education and are well-prepared for their academic and professional endeavors. This balanced approach enables students to excel in both their Jewish studies and in the wider society. We place a strong emphasis on developing leadership skills and actively encourage students to engage in their community’s affairs. This fosters a sense of responsibility and prepares individuals to assume leadership roles in the future. However, it is important to note that Jewish-owned schools generally offer a secure and nurturing atmosphere for Jewish students. These schools allow students to openly express their beliefs and engage in their traditions without the worry of facing discrimination or bias.
